I feel that. Even setting the influx of information aside, the worsening of search engines doesn’t make fact checking any easier either.
I miss the old days of the internet. Like early 2010s at the latest.

Canari and Gwynn seem to have a good friendship, and probably Corbeau and Phillipe? That’s about all I got.

Also the set up of the protagonist being on vacation is a weird choice when you’re there for several in-game months, or conceivably years if you day/night cycle enough.

When they said the game would only take place in Lumiose I was hopeful that would mean it would feel content rich. I’m just kinda stuck wondering what happened.

I was shocked how boring the final boss fight was. Seemed like a lot of build up for some light gardening.

Also as someone who has never really disliked any Pokemon characters much, I was impressed how much I hate the rival character.

I like it as well but if this is it, it seems a bit lacking for the $30 asking price.
Much less bang for your buck than SwSh or SV’s DLC.

Kinda surprising honestly; SwSh and SV felt like their DLC was much more bang for your buck.
I hope Z-A isn’t indicative of how Gen 10 will be. I’m generally not too cynical when it comes to Pokemon but Z-A despite running better kinda rubs me up the wrong way at times.

I really hope so

Nah the transition remains regardless. It grinds my gears but I got used to it. I have to assume it was a design limitation but they probably shoulda gone back to the drawing board to avoid those interruptions.

DLC kinda has something that works to fix it, but $30 for a quasi-fix ain’t great.

Glad Mega Man is back but I really wish they’d do something other than Classic.
This is like the 3rd Classic revival.

I am so tired of AI. Why can’t it just die?
It’s wild how it’s unprofitable for companies to implement it but they keep handing the AI companies money.

I didn’t think it was possible for get so significantly dumber than NFTs and Crypto.

I can’t help but feel it’ll end up with Levitate or something come Champions/Home.

Welp so much for staying unspoiled til I could start. Cool design at least.
December 10, 2025 at 4:31 PM
I feel ye. I have the same thing happen with my mother all the time.

Finally! All they had previously was the Famicom cover art thing I think.

God knows you would become too powerful

The wonders of technology never cease

Guess I just thought since they were only doing one city this time they’d actually flesh it out a lot more.
December 1, 2025 at 2:56 AM
I wonder if they also have a bug problem
November 26, 2025 at 2:34 PM
I moreso wonder if any other animals share this trait and we’re just unaware
